about dougie

Dougie is the bass player and backing vocalist of british pop-rock band McFly. He has co-writer credits on many of McFly's tracks, including the lead writer credit on their 2007 number one single "Transylvania". Poynter also wrote an unrecorded track called Silence Is A Scary Sound, which is featured as a live recording on their third studio album Motion In The Ocean. Poynter was 15 when he joined the band.

There were plenty of fabulous frocks, dazzling suits and sparkling jewellery on display at the Attitude magazine awards ceremony in Central London last night (October 16th).

The male attendees, on the other hand, all went for more conservative attire.

The boys from McFly – Dougie Poynter, Harry Judd and Danny Jones – wore matching suits for the event, with Danny adding an extra touch of glamour by donning an expensive-looking wristwatch for the night.

It was band-mate Harry, however, who walked away from the event with the Hottest Man of the Year award.

When we’re down, we love looking at videos and pictures of really cute animals. So it probably follows that since Dougie Poynter has spoken out about suffering with depression, Dougie Poynter has become the ambassador of an animal charity.

But he’s not going to be pelting Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga with flour or blood anytime soon, as he’s not going to be an ambassador of PETA, but a slightly less controversial animal rights group, The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF).

The McFly bassist and singer has teamed up with the WWF to help draw attention to their new campaign to save African mountain gorillas.
Truly dedicated to the cause, Dougie recently flew to Africa to record a film for the organisation. In the video – which you can see above – he says: “It’s been incredible…it’s been one of those things that I will never ever forget… The biggest thing that I’ve learnt is that although these creatures are massive and so powerful, they are just incredible fragile.”

He encourages fans: “Adopting a gorilla with WWF is the best way to protect them and to secure their future.”

McFly star Dougie Poynter has been announced as ambassador for the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, appearing in a new campaign to save African mountain gorillas after flying to Africa to record a film for the organisation. Poynter commented ‘Not everyone’s lucky enough to see wild gorillas first hand, but by adopting one with WWF you can do your bit to help protect them’.

Dougie will spend his birthday doing what he does best, performing in front of lot of people as McFly are confirmed to perform at the Metro Arena Live concert in Newcastle on his birthday, november 30.

I added to the gallery some pics of Dougie, Danny and Harry arriving to the Attitude Magazine Awards in London tonight, Harry won the award for hottest man of the year at the ceremony, and Tom wasn’t there as he’s actually in L.A. with his sister.
